Ratings and reviews

It's a great book to start with for Christians. Sadly Christianity has been indulging in pagan traditions in order to be more open minded and "less judgemental." Having read this book, it gives a Simple explanation to kids for "why we (Christians) don't celebrate Halloween." If any individual (kid/adult) wants to take the time to research historical dates and origins of druids and celts to become more informed or even answer questions this book may cause, they are free do so.

I grew up in a strong Christian household and even I see this book is hateful and ignorant. From the few pages they provide for free it's clear the author has, false, biased views and knows nothing of the real history behind Halloween. I'm disappointed at the level of ignorance in today's Christians and lack of love and understanding in their homes. This is not the book to help with the anti Halloween discussion.

This book teaches blind loyalty to ignorance of other cultures and not talking to other people or researching history to dissolve their assumptions and superstitions. Modern Halloween is based on the celtic harvest celebration that also honors loved ones who passed on, but its been warped so much from its original intent that its arguably its own variation. Books that teach kids to hold onto ignorance also teach them to hate. Ignorance leads to fear which festers into hate. I could never recommend a book that supports such animalistic and toxic mindsets.
